Hybrid mask and machine settings

Post by BigTex » Fri Jun 22, 2012 11:23 am

hey,

Got a new mask yesterday.
Its a Mirage liberty I think.

I have a Resmed S9.
What do I need to select for mask type?
I did not see hybrid.

I assume I use full face for the setting?

It felt good but my AHI was 9, much higher then normal.
Will try it for a few days.

You are correct.
Hybrid masks are considered full face, and the machine should be set for that.
Sweet dreams!

Thank you very much....

I am still struggling with the CPAP.
I one way I hate it but I do like feeling better and people around me seem to like me better too

I am still waking up a few times during the night but not that bad.

Its full name is: MIRAGE LIBERTY FULL FACE CPAP MASK

Would be interesting if you could control the leaks with it.
